  The hard X-ray free electron laser at Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL-XFEL) successfully completed the commissioning of SASE and started user operation in late 2016. Since then, the facility has demonstrated excellent stability with very small timing jitter of about 20 fs, and commissioned the self-seeding system over a wide range of photon energies, etc. The talk will provide an overview of the last three years at the PAL-XFEL, including some detailed experimental results, as well as future prospects for the laboratory.

The Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free-Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL) employs 51 units of the pulse modulator in order to obtain the 10 GeV electron beam, which drive one X-band to linearize and 50 S-band klystrons. The PAL-XFEL requires very tight control of the klystron RF phase jitter 0.03-degree for S-band RF, 0.1-degree for X-band RF and the beam voltage stability of below 50 ppm. The RF phase jitter is directly related to the amplitude stability of modulator output pulses. There are several factors to satisfy the stability and reliability for the PAL-XFEL modulator. The largest sources of pulse-to-pulse instability are a current charging power supply (CCPS) for PFN charging, a thyratron switch, and a klystron focusing magnet power supply (MPS). In this paper, the operation and debugging results of those devices are described.
